Sixth Street Specials

Hugh is the TRUTH. i’ve called other motorcycle repairs shops to bring my bike in and they told me… call back in two weeks… blah blah blah… but when i called hugh, he was like: bring it in! Hugh as a friendly ease about him. When i showed up with my triumph Hugh immediately stopped what he was working on to adjust my handlebars. He answered my questions, talked about his old triumphs that he has parked outside. Just an all around great guy. I will trust my bike to no one else but the guys at sixth street specials.

Hugh is really a bike wizard. He always sorted out the problem and did it right! They didn’t try to sell me anything i didn’t need.
my 1973 triumph Bonneville would run like a champ when it left sixth street!

Hugh is the man, straight up. I’ve not found a more honest, sincere, and easy going mechanic in my life. I was referred to Hugh by a mech in Brooklyn who wasn’t working on Triumphs as much anymore. Hugh helped me out with my 1978 Tiger, and the bike is running amazingly. He won’t rip you off, he won’t suggest work that doesn’t need to be done, and he won’t bull#*t you. He even discouraged me from some repairs I was suggesting, showing me why it wasn’t necessary for me to spend the money. As I was getting ready to leave, my bike was running a little rough (had been sitting for a week at the shop while I was out of town), and Hugh and one of his mechanics adjusted the timing right there in the street, and wouldn’t accept the additional money I offered him! He loves old Triumphs, and it shows. As long as I own a Triumph, I’m taking it to Sixth Street Specials.

When i first come to America, I’m amazed to see bikes such as this. In Soviet Russia i rode Ural. My bike is best in all of Petropavlovsk. My brother, Nikolai, he say to me, «Mikhail, you go to America, they make you rich like czar, take many woman as lover, kill many bear». My brother, he is very wise, is greatest cook of borsk in all of Russia. So next day i wake up, sell my house, say goodbye to wife and children, and go to America with Ural to become millionaire. Then in America, I go to job interview and they say to me «Mikhail, you are not for the job here, you are not the skills we need, you ride broken motorcycle like poor child». I take that man and smash his table, i say «someday i will have greatest motorcycle in all of country, your children will wish me their father!». That day my anger is best of me. It is then i know i must buy Triumph and have bike fixed by Hugh at Sixth Street Specials. Now i am owner of Triumph with motor as strong as boar. I write letter to Nikolai, he write back «Mikhail, your Triumph is like that of god, you will be millionaire soon! all of Petropavlovsk is proud for you! good luck brother! please send letter when you are president or maybe even czar! Hahaha! also, your wife is killed by bear». So i say thanks to Hugh for fixing bikes like this! When i am czar your family will be spared! Hahahaha! (is joke).
